Sometimes as they say, truth can be stranger than fiction. We all half-heartedly joked that in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing, it would only be a matter of time before pressure cookers would be outlawed by liberals.

Turns out a hypersensitive retail chain in Massachusetts beat them to the punch.

Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with over 250 stores in the United States, has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.

“It’s a temporary thing out of respect,” said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall. He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.
